#51822: Trying to use it to load Virtualbox and it doesn't seem to work

 Reporter:  pdrunk@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:            |       Port:
----------------------+--------------------------------
 So, I've used the .pkg file to install Macports and everything seemed
 successful. But I noticed some things when I tried to following statement:


 {{{
 sudo port install libidl +universal doxygen texlive texlive-latex-extra
 texlive-fonts-extra cdrtools
 }}}


 it gave me the following error

 {{{
 Error: Port libidl not found
 }}}


 I figured I'd give the software update a try so I tried:

 {{{
 port -v selfupdate
 }}}


 and got the following errors:

 {{{

 I don't know how to check for the ports using the terminal (I'm a n00b.)
 But I believe that maybe macports isn't running or running properly on my
 mac.
